Is it permissible for servers to consume a distributor's beer sample while serving?

In Arizona, the law strictly prohibits servers from consuming alcohol while on duty. This is to ensure that servers remain responsible and professional while serving customers. The consumption of alcohol by servers, even in the context of tasting a distributor's beer sample, can lead to impaired judgment and unprofessional behavior, compromising the safety and service quality in an establishment. This regulation helps maintain a safe and responsible environment for patrons and upholds the standards of the liquor industry.

While there may be allowances in certain situations or different states, under Arizona Title 4 regulations, it is clear that on-duty consumption by servers is not permitted. This framework is designed to promote responsible serving practices and compliance with liquor laws.
